HOUSE STYLE

VS. PRICE

Unless you have a very definite idea about the kind of house you want, the style may be less important than location and price. Many people are attracted to the traditional two-story colonial, while others prefer more contemporary designs, such as split-levels or ranch-style houses. The style, however, will probably make a difference in the price.

According to building experts, the two-story house is the least expensive to build per square foot when measured as the cost of living area. It gives double the space of a ranch unit, for example, for the same amount of land. It is also less expensive to add a second story than to build a floor and foundation to extend the living area. The same amount of space that costs $100 per square foot in a two-story house would cost about $125 ill a ranch or $120 in a split level.

Whatever your preference in style or price, let your Realtor help you make the most satisfying buy for the money.
